There are wonderful people who have worked with us for many years who were immense fun. One spectacularly nice bloke, loved by many, operated Pier Co in Jomtien, Thailand. He sold marine things to travelling boats and Australian boat builders who use the skills at Ocean Marina.
Hiroshi Yoshino, a man whose company I would enjoy, sadly has passed away. I knew Hiroshi was in the hospital and chatted to him that same day… I share his memory and ever cheeky face -
A loss to the local yachting community in Thailand, a great sailor and a rascal with a vice for good sushi, and as an alternative, a good Italian pasta served on the beach with pizza and beer.
To Mrs Hiroshi, Ja and to Wasabi - we shall all miss him
